A Hard Profession.

Old DIR. johnson once said address
ing a class of students, that the study
OF medicine was q most arduous I'M
dertaking; that the most comprehen-
sive mind and the most Industrious
student could scarcely do more than
explore the portals to medical know
ledge during the brief time allotted to
study before commencing practice, but
that throughout his whole life the re-
sponsibilities of his profession should
rest upon him like a nightmare.
He should explore every avenue of
natural knowledge, must become fam
iliar with chemistry, natural philoso-
ply, and natural history, but above
all, he must learn the construction of
his own frame, the means by which
he lives, moves and has his being. He
must understand the nature of all
those influences by which health is
broken down and restored and by
what means disease, suffering and
death may be averted. DIR. Johnson
further says that nothing contributes
so much to the support of quackery as
the present insuf1iciency of medical
knowledge. Men do not, he says,
easily abandon hope but as readily
put faith in ignorant pretenders as
drowning men catch at straws.
"The good that men do in this life
lives after them" During the life
| time of old DR.. johnson he invented
what is now known as Johnson's Ano.
dyne Liniment, standard family
remedy of surprising merit. This linl.
ment is both for internal and external
use and it is safe to say that no single
remedy ever discovered has done SC
much good as has this one. 1t is in.
expensive, ready alta moments notice
night or day and may be used with
absolute confidence and in the thous.
and and one ailments that atfiict
humanity. In the cure of severe
cramps or pains in the stomach and
bowels, dysentry, diarrh@a, acute OIL
chronic, this liniment is a sovereign
remedy. In the case of chronic
diarrhGa it is certainly worth it,
weight in gold. 1t has been known
to cure cases of from ten to fifteer
years standing after the sufferers haC
been given up.

A brief but terrific thunder and
wind storm visited this locality last
Saturday about midnight, it being
generally considered the worst ever
experienced here. The air appeared
to be filled with electricity, and the
flashes were very sharp, accompanied
by unusually heavy thunder. No
casualties are reported, and the only
memento of the storms fitting visit
was the blowing down of one of the
large shade trees that adorn Col. Man
